The more the merrier, we also play ETQW and a few other native FPS, our site is a little unused but will sort that out with a revamp soon...
As Naib said - best thing to do is pop over to #gentoo-chat ...

Hi guys

QuakeLive r0x. But I have a strange problem. r_picmip is set to "10" in my autoexec.cfg. But it is _always_ set to 1. So I do a vid_restart after joining a server. But the REALLY annoying problem ist: after vid_restart I can move my mouse ONLY vertically !?!? I also postet this also on the quakelive forums. But noone seems to have an answer. When I do a /reconnect I can move my mouse normally again.

That some settings are not autoloaded is well known, but my mouse prob is so annoying .... someone got a hint?

Here is my autoexec: http://acidc0re.de/autoexec.cfg

btw, my nick on QL is mephist0666. So European gentoo'ers, add me

autoexec.cfg is broken on linux atm (it's a known bug)

Have you tried resetting your game configuration via the website? (Game Settings -> Reset Settings Defaults (at the bottom)) This helps in some cases.
Reset them then start a game, exec your config, quit and see if it's still not working.

coolz, I dont remember what I did excalty, but autoexec works now

I think it happened while I played 2 duel matches yesterday. I think I did: /exec autoexec and then vid_restart and then played that duel. During the match another guy joined and I got dropped into spectator mode. He didnt want to leave or go spec. So I looked for another free server. My friend found one and I joined through the friends list icon. I cant remember if it was executed automatically on the second server or if I did /exec autoexec again. Damn it. My short-term memory is bad

I hate that. Its driving me nuts if I cant remember something.

Man this made my day, find me on the servers: Catastr0phe

and Gentoo Clan? Hmm I got lots of free time, I wouldn't mind pitching in for the fun of it.

Count me in.

I have a problem with Quake Live and Gentoo. I updated my gentoo yesterday and I have problem with playing QL.
Today, when I want to joing some serwers, I have this strange thing. Every text is writing in "squares". I can't read anyting. I can't see avatars of players, wepons, etc. Only blank squares appear. When I join the game, I see some error, but I can't read it. And I need to quit the game.

Am I in the write topic?

No. This doesn't work for me. (The both solutions.) :/

Sorry, I dunno then - I think it's very related to some font lib or something similar.

ocin · Guru Joined: 01 Jan 2006 Posts: 500

Okay, this is also discussed at http://www.quakelive.com/forum/showthread.php?t=43859

Temporary solution until the QL build is fixed:

Install >=media-libs/libpng-1.2 (it's getting slotted iirc)

and use

Quake Live is now out of beta!

@kemchua: The 'closed beta' group still exists but I think no more linux testers are needed since the client works quite well and all issues which are left are known ones.
